Make America Great Again

This weekend our area is having it's Tri-County Fair.  District 28 Republicans are having a booth where we'll sell baked goods and do our best to interest new people to join the party. 

 

As I pondered sitting in the heat all weekend, I asked myself, "Why should I even care? I have so little physical strength left to give so my contribution is so small."

 

Then I heard my stinkin' thinkin' and set to work trying to get more folks to make cookies or bars for our bake sale. 

 

What made the difference for me?  It's probably my stubborn German heritage that doesn't like to give up very easily.  Also, all the years I've attended Appleseed shoots have shown me what a little cry-baby wimp I had turned into.

 

There's another reason I picked myself up this morning and it has to do with our President.  I heard him say once that he was enjoying his retirement years and didn't need to have all of the crap thrown at him that he has had to deal with.

 

So, here's a little inspiration for you to get out there and do something for freedom every day.  We're raising money so that we can support conservative Americans in their election races. If every American does one little thing for freedom every day, imagine where our country will be in 5 years. 

 

For those of you not from America, you can pursue freedom in your thinking too.  It all begins in our heads.  If we lay down and take what tyranny insists we accept, then we're sunk.  We may as well be dead. 

Freedom is worth the time and effort to sit in the heat one weekend out of the year to sell cookies and do my best to interest other freedom lovers to join us.  IT MOST CERTAINLY IS!!

 

So, see you at the fair!

Are you willing to give Him your schedule?

Now that things have settled down a bit after the tornado and our 4th of July celebration, I've been led to get back to the New Oil series.  This one has amazing praise music for almost an hour, so skip to  about 55 minutes for the start of the sermon, if you don't have time to listen to an hour of praise music.

 

Johnny said something amazing at about an hour in.  He said that God gives us the desires that He wants us to ask Him for.  He shapes us by giving us the very desires that we later ask Him to fulfill for us.  Why would He go through so much trouble??  Well, because HE WANTS TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US!!  It's that simple.

 

I pray that God will touch you with HIS desires for your life as you listen to this with an open heart!  HE has a great plan for each of our lives!!!  All we have to do is be open to it and ask Him to bring it to pass!  Give HIM your schedule and He will do just that.

 

God bless all you true seekers of His truth for your life,

 

Dawn

OH NO--a tornado

On July 3, 2018 at roughly 5:00 in the morning, our lives were changed drastically.  A tornado came through our farm and demolished/greatly damaged the buildings on our farm.  The calf shelter  (roughly 20 X 12 feet) flew over 3 fences and only stopped at the rock pile out in the field.  It's a good thing that it did or it may have harmed Andrew and Marie's place the way it was flying through the air.   We're grateful that the farm equipment that was being stored in the Quonset wasn't more damaged than it was.  We're super grateful that our grain cleaning system wasn't also.  What saved that, plus Michael and Cora's Bobcat and fishing boat, from being totally smashed was our new combine holding up the building.  I'll try to get some photos to share here soon.   On Friday the guys lifted the wreckage off of the equipment that was parked in the building.  After everything of worth was removed, they gave it a push and down it came like a stack of dominoes.  How a life can change in an instant.   What we're all amazed at is how God protected the 2 households involved.  Trees were snapping off and buildings collapsing but Michael, Cora, and Elsie were safe in their bedroom!!!  Over on our side of the road, a large tree fell on all 3 of our pickups but didn't touch the house.  WE WERE SAFE IN THE LOVE THAT GOD HAS FOR US!!!   There have been lots of tears, as I've pondered the losses, but this morning the Lord comforted me with these thoughts.  I pray that you will find comfort in them too.   Prayers for our family would be greatly appreciated at this time.   Dawn for us Bornemanns and Dalquists Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.

Hebrews 13:15

- JULY 8 - THANKING GOD AT ALL TIMES

Lifting up your hands and thanking God is spontaneous and easy when you have just received a wonderful blessing: “God, I can’t thank You enough for this miracle!”

“Thank You Father, for answering my prayer!”

“Father, thank You for the windfall!”

Perhaps you came close to being in a fatal accident, but God plucked you out of danger just in time. Or your grandmother, an unbeliever for many years, finally received Jesus as her Savior and got healed of a long-term disease.

But there are times when you don’t feel like lifting up your hands to thank and praise God, yet you do it. Perhaps you feel very discouraged lately. Perhaps everything is going wrong for you and you feel like your life is in a mess. You can’t hold back the tears. Yet, you make a conscious decision to lift your hands and thank God for being in the situation with you. You open your mouth and begin to praise Him even though you really don’t feel like doing it.

In the midst of the trial that you are going through, you praise Him that He is your righteousness in spite of all the mistakes you have made. You thank Him that He is your Prince of Peace, and that His peace will arise in you and still the storms in your life.

My friend, God sees and appreciates such times when, despite feeling so discouraged, you offer a freewill thanksgiving offering to Him. In fact, your thanksgiving during such times is more highly prized by Him than your thanksgiving during those times when you are feeling joyful because you have just been blessed.

And when you choose to thank Him for His unfailing love, and His faithfulness to deliver, protect and provide for you even when you don’t see the blessings yet, before long, you will find yourself experiencing and enjoying the blessings! So lift your hands and praise the Lord, for He is good, and His mercy endures forever! (Psalm 106:1)

 

What war?

As we approach Independence Day in our country, all kinds of thoughts flood my mind.  I've never known war in my country.  I've not lived through another country trying to destroy my country with their armies or their bombs.  I rejoice that the very month my husband would have had to be drafted to go finish up the Vietnam War, the draft was dropped because no more soldiers were needed.  The war was over!!

 

That being said, I HAVE studied war.  During Jacob's Senior year of High School we studied World War 2 extensively.  He was interested in it and I wanted to study what he wanted to study.  I also feel like I know the Revolutionary War period pretty well having attended Appleseed shoots the past 9 years.  One year in our home school we also studied America's Civil War and I'll always remember the talking book called ACROSS FIVE APRILS from that time period!!  WOW! 

 

During one of our shoots here on our farm, the shoot boss stirred my lazy flame of passion for freedom.  None who were there will ever forget shoot boss Steve L reciting from memory the entire speech of Patrick Henry which woke up the asleep to the threat of becoming slaves to the King of England.

 

Our country has given away so many of our freedoms that we don't even know it.  Right now the United States Supreme Court finally acknowledged that Pro-life people do not have to cave to the abortion industry--the baby murdering DEsembly line of human beings. 

 

Since when do people have a right to KILL their offspring?????????????? Did God at a certain point decide that the fruit of the womb is no longer a blessing?????????????????  So we are at war for the lives of millions of helpless people being slaughtered before their eyes see the light of day and their parent's faces.

 

We're at war all right.  Those of us who follow the Bible, and believe that God speaks to mankind through it, have been all but gagged when it comes to sharing our faith outside of our homes.  Fear of speaking up for truth keeps many of us from sharing our love and devotion for our Creator.  I've been a coward most of my life in that department.  I learned early how to keep my mouth shut in an attempt to keep safe.

 

If you decide to listen to this video and if you decide to open your minds and your hearts to it, I would ask you to ponder in what way our loving Heavenly Father would have you speak up for freedom?  Sometimes it only takes one voice to change a situation. 

Sometimes it only takes one crippled old grandma to take the time to sit at her computer and share what is bursting forth from her heart.  I have other things that I could be doing, you know.  I need to water my flowerbeds; weed the garden; do laundry; cook lunch; prepare for company who are coming for the 4th.  Yet, here I write because I want YOU to value whatever level of freedom that you're enjoying today!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

If that's tough for you right now, then you need to listen to this more than everyone else.  At any rate, I pray that these words will seep into your minds and souls and cause you to stand up for your rights that God has given to ALL mankind!!  The rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

 

Happy Independence Day everyone!

It's APPLESEED time

Summer is that wonderful time when you can get outside and do all kinds of  special things including improving your shooting.  Of course you can improve your shooting any time of year but in North Dakota it's much more pleasant to do so when it's warm outside.  lol

 

Our shoot boss, Andrew, has set the date for our annual Appleseed shoot here at our farm.  Feel free to check out the details here: https://www.facebook.com/events/197438754248587/?notif_t=plan_user_joined&notif_id=1530025419793091

 

For those of you unfortunate enough to be unable to attend that shoot at our farm, you can see if there's an Appleseed event scheduled near you this Summer.  Go here and click on your state and all of the scheduled shoots for your area will be listed there: https://appleseedinfo.org/

 

This will be our 9th year of hosting Appleseeds on our private shooting range.  Each shoot has been an incredible experience of improving shooting skills; learning about the start of our great country; and making lasting friendships. 

 

You see, the type of people who take a weekend of their lives to be a part of the firing line at an Appleseed shoot are super special people!!!!!!!!!!  There's just something amazing about them and especially those who lead the program!  Did you know that Appleseed shoot bosses and instructors DONATE their time so that others can learn to defend themselves and have more successful hunting experiences?

 

Each shoot I've attended has made me a better person in one way or another!!  I urge you to step out of your comfort zone and join the adventure that the Appleseed program offers us each Summer.  You'll be glad you did--I PROMISE!!!!

 

Dawn for us Bornemanns

 

PS.  As you can see, women are VERY welcome to shoot on our range.  Come on over, gals, and bring your fellas along too!  Let's fill up the firing line for Andrew!  We have room for over 30 shooters.

 

 

EUREKA--I'm restored!!!!!!!

I write this in faith that the total restoration of my life is on it's way!  It's already begun!!

 

Not only am I singing His praises with a voice restored, my brother is a part of it!  I HAVE A BROTHER!!!!

 

My oldest brother, Russell, is the one who told me about the oil and our friendship is growing!!! 
He's coming here for the 4th of July!!!!!!!!!  Yesterday he called me to encourage me to begin daily communion to bring in my healing in full!!  He said, "I really care about you, Dawn!"  Wow--GLORY!!!!!!!!!

 

Not only has this oil flowing from a Bible healed people, God is using it to restore to them all that the illness has stolen from them.  But what about if the enemy has NEVER allowed a relationship to exist on Earth?  Can God create a bond where there NEVER has been one through this oil?  YESSSSSSS

 

I've listened to sermons my whole life and have been strengthened a bit BUT this move of God is like nothing else that I've ever experienced.  I just received from God a SEVEN-fold restoration of ALL that satan has stolen from me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

 

If you're just joining me, I urge you to go back and watch the New Oil videos in order.  Let your faith grow right along with mine!!

 

As the praise team is singing at the end of the sermon, "Healing is here and I receive it!" 

 

EUREKA

New oil #4

The coming blessings of God will come through God's people singing His praises.  A wave of great blessings is about to break loose on Earth because of this oil.  I believe it!!  It's happening to me!!  I can't stop singing.  I sing like I used to always sing before the pain took over my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

So many of us have been living in the box all our lives.  God wants us OUT.  Listen to this video and see what I mean!!
